edited October 5 in Success Stories
I started my weight loss journey at 209 lbs on October 7, 2011.

I have made slow but positive progress since then and today my weight loss has made me feel like a new person.

I AM NO LONGER A 200 POUND WOMAN!

The scale weighed me in at 199.4 lbs this morning and I cannot fully explain how happy this makes me!

I've lost 9.6 pounds in less than 2 months. MFP is amazing, and I'm so happy and thankful to have found something that works for me and so many other people!

For over a year, I have been looking forward to the day that a 2 will not be the first number I see on the scale anymore. THAT DAY IS HERE and it feels SO GOOD! :happy:

Add me as a friend if you're looking for support, I'm always looking for new friends (the more the merrier I say!) :smile:

Happy Holidays everyone:heart:

    I'm at exactly the same place right now!! When I signed up I was precisely on 200lb and I was kinda upset - knew I was big but I'd never worked it out in lbs before. This morning I weighed and I was 197. It's only the start but it's a good way to start!! Congrats big time :D

    MFP is pretty great. I know it's helped me take control of food.

    I'm so happy for you! I'm waiting for that too. I started my weight loss journey on November 1 and weighed 217.2. As of today, I weigh 207.2. I lost 10 lbs in a month. My goal is not to see a 2 as the first number by the end of December. Keep up the good work. Your story was so geniune and gave me the push to keep going. I just started loggin as of yesterday.

    Isn't that the BEST?!
    You can weigh 298lb and no matter what other number the scale gives you, you still feel like a million bucks when that 2 becomes a 1.
    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    Great job....It is a WONDERFUL thing and I know exactly how it feels....

    I started the beginning of the year at 199 - having been over 200 at various times of my life I looked at it and said Awww hell no am I moving that first diget up again....

    It has been a slow year but I am down 12 lbs...slow and steady wins...

    Here is chugging along to having that 2nd number change....

    THANK YOU EVERYONE for all of the kind words! Your support and encouragment really does keep me going every day, I wouldn't have success like this without the help from big hearted people like each and every one of you!

    For those of you who said my story has helped/inspired you, THANK YOU--that means so much to me! All of you are an inspiration to ME! BTW, love the "ONEderland" comments!! :smile:

    Once again, thank you all. You've made this accomplishment even more special and exciting for me!! :love:
